Kurt's first
performance occured when he was only 4 years of age, and took place at a local
culture-house. He got good response and started to get used to the stage at a
early age.
With the new single in stores, Kurt is starting to get known as a solo-artist.
But he is still a frontfigure in the band Fenrik Lane, where he has gotten some
great experience. Kurt has other talents then just singing. He can also play
many sorts of instruments, among them are flute, piano, violin, drums, bassgitar
and shaker.
With sales reaching over 108.000 copies of his latest single, Kurt's feature as
an solo-artist looks very bright. If he one day could afford a house by the sea,
a 15 foot "Askeladden" boat, fishinggear and a little recording-studio placed
inside the boat, that would be his dream. The house wouldn't have to be in
perfect condition since Kurt enjoys working outdoors and do carpentering.
After Kurt won the norwegian Idol, he's had very little time to spend on his own.
His biggest hobby is fishing, and he clearly misses it. Favorite tv-show is
ofcourse Fishingfever. Even though he doesn't enjoy washing and cleaning up at
home, he miss his girlfriend and two little kids home in Bergen dearly.
As you might
know, Kurt is a major fan of the bear-brand Hansa, but his diett consist of more
than so. He loves "pinnekjøtt", which is lamb ribs that are salted and cooked a
special way. This is an norwegian christmas tradition, and many eat this on
christmas eve. In addition to this, Kurt loves danish salami and gets a kick
sometimes which results in a massiv consume of chips and chocolate. And ofcourse,
bear with peanuts is a real hit-tune when going out.
When it
comes to clothing, Kurt is keeping it simple. He is not very used to be dressed
up, and surely misses his old jeans and sandals.
Even though Kurt drives a car in the musicvideo "She's So High", he does not
have a license. He had to stop the training when Idol took off.
Kurt has now finished recording is debutalbum "I". The recording of the album
went fast, as does the rest of his raising fame. However, he did get some time
in between the recordings to go fishing in a river just near Ole Evenrud's
studio, Hitsville, like he did during his vacation. Kurt had 10 days in the
studio, and a lot of it was spent traveling between his home, touring and the
studio. He had written quite a bit of the material from earlier on, so 9 of the
12 songs on his album is written by Kurt himself.
